Live stock, forex and macro data from Africa's fastest-growing economies

Last updated: 11 minutes ago

Africa's stock markets are delivering returns that most European investors don't know about. The Ghana Stock Exchange has delivered triple-digit gains in 2025, Nigerian equities continue their multi-year rally fuelled by banking sector profits and currency reforms, and the Nairobi Securities Exchange offers stable growth driven by East Africa's leading financial institutions.

This page tracks 24 African stocks across four exchanges, 5 currency pairs relevant to European and American investors, and compares year-to-date performance against the AEX, DAX, CAC 40 and FTSE. Data is sourced from EODHD and updated every hour during trading sessions.
